A little past its prime. Uncorked to a nearly rotton cork, Decanted for 2 hours and a very subtle "opus" flavor. Smooth with a tart finish. Drink up boys.
Expectations were high as they always are with Opus but the 2001 was a bit of a let down. Nice legs and bouquet, however the depth and complexity was lacking. A medium flat finish that only penetrated the front and sides of the tongue. Looking forward to the next bottle but it will not be the 2001.
